VENTILATION
When not in the open air below a truck, the genverter normally
draws air from the engine compartment. An engine
compartment with natural ventilation must have vent openings
of adequate size and location to enable the genverter set to
operate without overheating. To allow an ample supply of air
within the temperature limits of the genverter an opening of at
least 900 cm
2
is required.
A "sealed" engine compartment must have a good extraction
ventilator to maintain reasonable ambient temperatures. High
temperature of intake air reduces engine performance and
increases engine coolant temperatures. Air temperatures above
40°C reduce the engine power by 2% for each 5°C of rise. At
higher temperatures the electric output will be lower. To
minimize these effects the engine room temperature must not
exceed the outside ambient air temperature by more than
15°C.
Apply a combination of ventilators, blowers and air intake
ducting to meet the temperature limit. The air inlet ducts
should run to the bottom of the engine compartment to clear
fumes from the bottom and to circulate fresh air. Air outlets
should be at the top of the engine compartment to remove the
hottest air. An engine compartment blower should be used as
an extraction ventilator to remove air from the engine room.
In cases where it is impossible to meet the above mentioned
temperature limit by using engine compartment ventilation,
connections are to be made for an air inlet directly to the
genverter enclosure. With these connections the genverter can
be directly connected to an air duct.
Air inlets should be louvered, where appropriate, to protect the
engine room and to protect the genverter from rain and water
spray.

CONNECTIONS
The genverter comes with all supply lines and output cables (i.e.
electric cables, exhaust connecion, fuel lines etc.) already
connected. The supply lines are fed through the capsule’s front
base. The connections are marked as shown in Figure 6.
Refer to Section 5.1 for a graphical overview of installation and
wiring connection requirements.
All electrical connections, cable types and sizes must comply
with the appropriate national regulations. Supplied cables are
rated for ambient temperatures up to 70°C. If the cables are
required to meet higher temperature requirements, they must
be run through conduits.
ATTENTION!
Before working on the system, read the safety
instructions.
